Chapter 37: The Storm
Ye Jinqing was woken up by her own hunger, only to see her reluctantly open her eyes and get up in a daze.
There were no candles in the house, and it was dark outside, dark and winter.
Ye Jinqing stretched out his hand and groped around, came to a small side, and touched a cup of soup that still had residual warmth, and the few steamed buns on the plate next to him had become cold and hard.
Along the way, they all came over with dry food, Ye Jinqing didn't pick his mouth, but he didn't want to gnaw on the frozen hard steamed buns directly.
Ye Jinqing opened the soup and sniffed it, smelling like chicken soup. She reached out again and took the steamed buns. With enough strength, the steamed bun was broken into several cloves, and then soaked in chicken broth.
Ye Jinqing picked up the chopsticks, scooped up a piece of steamed bread slices and ate it, the outside of this steamed bread slices has been soaked in chicken soup and soaked in juice, the taste is not bad, but in the middle, it is still very stiff.
Just thinking about whether to spit it out, Ye Jinqing remembered that there was a war in Beiguan Town, and the food supply in the city should be very difficult.
In the midst of this desire to vomit, there was a "bang", and the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Ye Jinqing was startled by this sound, turned around suddenly, and saw Su Xuan, who had not been seen for many days, standing at the door with a tense expression, with the light on his back, which was extremely terrifying.
Ye Jinqing unconsciously wanted to swallow her saliva, but the steamed bun that was originally in her mouth slid to her throat and was stuck there.
Su Xuan had been dealing with those troubles all day, and it was said that the Di clan would have reinforcements in a few days. But his troops here are already stretched, how can he have spare troops to deal with the reinforcements that come.
Worried, thinking that Su Zhen had brought Ye Jinqing before, anyway, there was no better way now, so he wanted to go and see Ye Jinqing first.
Unexpectedly, he saw that the house was dark from a distance, and he thought that Ye Jinqing might still be sleeping, but when he heard the movement in the house, he simply pushed the door in and went in to find out.
As soon as he opened the door, Su Xuan saw Ye Jinqing looking at him with a frightened expression. Could he be so appalling?
The steamed bun piece was stuck in her throat, Ye Jinqing felt like she was going to suffocate, she coughed hard, trying to loosen the steamed bun a little.
"Ahem, ahem......"
Su Xuan then heard a heart-rending cough, but the cough was very muffled, as if it was blocked by something, and saw that Ye Jinqing was still beating his chest.
Seeing this, Su Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ye Jinqing up, Ye Jinqing coughed almost out of strength, and his little face turned red, just like that, his forehead was all wet, and his hair was sticking to his face, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Su Xuan held Ye Jinqing with one hand, and the free hand was a little longer, and he was also flustered when he saw Ye Jinqing like this, and when he saw the dense enemies under the city before, he didn't see that he hadn't been so flustered.
Su Xuan directly brought the teapot over and sent it to Ye Jinqing's mouth, forgetting to test the water temperature. Fortunately, the tea brewed there had already been cooled, otherwise, Ye Jinqing would have to suffer again.
Seeing the teapot handed over by Su Xuan, Ye Jinqing tried to lean his head over. I poured a few mouthfuls and swallowed hard, only to feel that my throat was stretched out and hurt, but the steamed bun was finally swallowed with water.
As soon as the steamed bun was swallowed, Ye Jinqing leaned on Su Xuan as if he had lost his strength, and he didn't move for a long time. He just stretched out a hand and touched his throat, which was still faintly aching.
Su Xuan relieved himself first, and looked at Ye Jinqing, who was slumped in his arms, his hair was messy, and he was embarrassed, and suddenly laughed loudly, and this laughter became more and more unscrupulous.
Ye Jinqing didn't want to speak because of a sore throat, and she was weak, so she could only raise her head and stare at Su Xuan dryly.
Su Zhe and Su Nian, who were guarding outside, heard the laughter of their master, and couldn't help but glance at each other, could it be that this Su An is the master's lucky star, as soon as he sees Su An, the master has a strategy to retreat from the enemy, and he will be happy here.
Su Xuan smiled enough, and saw that the villain in his arms was looking at him with watery eyes, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes from coughing before.
"Jin'er, this city has not been broken yet, you are going to die in the city." Su Xuan glanced at the broken steamed buns scattered on the table again, "Choking on the city with steamed buns, this method is novel." ”
In normal times, hearing Su Xuan's ridicule like this, Ye Jinqing must have refuted it with sharp teeth. But now, she just knew that Su Xuanding had taken herself to put pressure on her father, and she almost entered the Hades Palace with her back foot. Thinking of himself wandering so lonely, and there was a sinister Su Xuan by his side, he couldn't help but feel sad and cried loudly.
Ye Jinqing really let go of crying this time, not the kind of pear blossom with rain, but like the child in the market, crying with a handful of tears and snot.
Because lying in Su Xuan's arms, Ye Jinqing took the opportunity to wipe her tears and snot on Su Xuan's body.
Su Zhensu, who was outside the door, heard the cry and looked into the room in surprise, but it was still dark inside.
Su Xuan was stunned by this sudden cry. From the moment she saw Ye Jinqing, she had a strange appearance in front of him, how could she have cried so loudly, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had really been there just now.
"Don't cry, it's ugly." Stretched out his hand to wipe Ye Jinqing's tears.
Su Xuan's hands were a little cold, but it made Ye Jinqing recover a little bit from his grief, but he still couldn't stop sobbing.
Su Xuan looked at the breathless crying person in front of him, sighed, and unconsciously slowed down: "It's my mistake, but it's good." ”
In the dark, Ye Jinqing looked at Su Xuan's eyes, there seemed to be some guilt in them, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"It's your fault, if it weren't for you, how could I have eaten so many dry foods, how could I have come to this dangerous place, how could I have choked on steamed buns." Ye Jinqing complained with a crying voice, as if he had released all the grievances during this time.
Su Xuan stretched out his hand, took Ye Jinqing into his arms and said, "No matter what, I will protect you well." ”
Ye Jinqing leaned motionlessly on Su Xuan's arms, as if he had quieted down because of Su Xuan's words.
After a long time of the two of them in this posture, Ye Jinqing twisted his body and withdrew from Su Xuan's arms. Thinking back to the crying he had just now, Ye Jinqing hung his little head and secretly spat on himself, now he was really faceless in front of Su Xuan.
"Okay, stop crying? Don't make a fuss? ”
Su Xuan's voice came from above, and Ye Jinqing didn't look up, still lowering his head, looking at his smooth fingernails.
Su Xuan stood up suddenly, Ye Jinqing thought he was angry, thinking that he was in Beiguan, the only one he could rely on was Su Xuan, so he couldn't help but panic, and reached out and grabbed Su Xuan's sleeve.
Su Xuan's figure was stunned, and he looked down and saw Ye Jinqing like a little beast afraid of being abandoned, and he was pulling his sleeve in a panic. The thin wrist was overexerted, and small green tendons could be seen bulging.
Su Xuan took the opportunity to take the little hand, "Do you want to light that candlestick with me?" ”
Ye Jinqing was helped up by Su Xuan, but the whole person still stuck to Su Xuan, followed step by step, and lit up the candlesticks.
As the candlelight lit up in the house, Ye Jinqing also slowly calmed down.
Su Xuan turned around, lit the candlestick, and saw Ye Jinqing's messy robe and red and swollen eyes.
"Su Zhe, ask someone to prepare some hot water." Su Zhe heard Su Xuan's order, hurriedly walked to the back kitchen, and went to fetch hot water in person.
"But do you want something to eat?" Su Xuan asked.
Ye Jinqing remembered the steamed bun that he had palpitations just now, and shook his head.
"Then when Su Zhe brings hot water, you can freshen up first. This appearance makes people see, and it really makes people think that I bullied you, so my good man is really confirmed. Saying this, Su Xuan couldn't help but laugh first.
Ye Jinqing looked down at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but smile when he thought that he had actually made such a piece of steamed bread.
